What the status card says

Open Website > Domain. Each domain has a card with one of these titles.

  • Waiting on DNS. The record is not visible yet. Add it, then click Check again.
  • Securing HTTPS. DNS works. yaya is issuing the certificate.
  • HTTPS is ready. The certificate is done. DNS or publishing is still catching up. Publish your site and check again.
  • Connected. Visitors reach your published site here.
  • We could not verify this domain. Setup stopped. Click Reconnect to start it again, or Remove.

Under the hostname, the HTTPS line shows the certificate state in plain words, like pending validation or active. A domain with no certificate yet shows no line.

While a domain is still being set up, yaya checks again every 15 seconds. Click Check again to check now.

Make the domain primary

  1. Wait for Connected.
  2. Click Make primary on the domain's card.

The card then says "This is your site's main address." The button shows only on a connected domain that is not primary yet. A site has one primary domain. Setting a new one replaces the old one.

Questions

Why no Make primary button? The domain is not connected yet, or it is already primary. Only owners see it.

Can a domain be primary before the site is published? No. The site has to answer on that name.
